DXHR Launches "Generative AI Training for System Development PMs" to Dramatically Transform System Development Productivity

DXHR Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kazunari Maeda) has launched its practical educational program, "Generative AI Training for System Development PMs," targeted at project managers (PMs) in system development. This training is a 5-session practical program designed to foster the next generation of PMs who can integrate generative AI into their daily project management tasks, achieving overwhelming improvements in operational efficiency and quality.

Background and Objectives Currently, "AI talent shortage" and "chronic engineer shortage" are extremely serious issues in Japan's IT industry. While generative AI technologies such as ChatGPT and Claude are rapidly evolving, many companies are hesitant to adopt them, stating, "We know generative AI exists, but we don't know how to utilize it in actual system development projects," or "We are concerned about security and hallucinations (plausible falsehoods)." Project managers (PMs) in particular are burdened with a wide range of responsibilities, from management tasks like schedule and quality control, and communication with stakeholders, to sometimes being involved in upstream processes such as requirements definition. This often leads to project progress being bottlenecked by the personalization of work and resource shortages. Against this market backdrop, we have developed this training program with the aim of "not just using AI as a tool, but mastering it as an excellent assistant." By enabling PMs themselves to significantly improve efficiency in routine tasks using AI, and by creating an environment where they can focus on "judgment" and "decision-making," which are their core responsibilities, we aim to boost the overall productivity of system development.

Service Overview Generative AI Training for System Development PMs 【Main Features and Curriculum Content】 This training is a 5-session program that not only imparts knowledge through lectures but also includes ample "practical exercises" where participants actively create outputs. It utilizes generative AI (primarily Claude), which excels at long-text processing and structured output, to acquire skills directly applicable to actual PM tasks.

Session 1: Generative AI Fundamentals and Introduction to PM Operations Learn the differences between generative AI and AI agents, compare the characteristics of major tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.), the basics of prompt engineering, and the fundamentals of security and risk management. Session 2: Overview of AI-Driven Development and Development Tools Understand the features of the latest development tools such as AI pair programming, vibe coding, and Claude Code, and grasp the changes in AI-era development team building and the role of PMs. Session 3: PM Task Efficiency Improvement ①: Planning and Design Phase [with Exercises] Conduct practical exercises to improve efficiency in the planning phase tasks, from creating draft requirement definition documents, automatically extracting deliverables and feature lists, creating WBS (Gantt charts), to improving the accuracy of effort estimation. Session 4: PM Task Efficiency Improvement ②: Reporting and Communication [with Exercises] Acquire skills to structure routine communication tasks, such as automatic creation and summarization of meeting minutes, generation of customer-facing incident reports from fragmented information, and summarization of project retrospective surveys. Session 5: AI Utilization Strategy and Review Develop strategies to disseminate AI utilization throughout the organization by organizing AI application methods in each area of PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge), formulating AI deployment plans for your own team and organization, and establishing AI utilization governance and rules.

Target Audience This program is designed for the following companies and individuals: IT companies and SIer companies engaged in system development and software development. Heads of development departments and management executives aiming to improve the productivity of development projects and resolve work personalization. Project managers who are overwhelmed by daily document creation and reporting tasks and cannot allocate sufficient time to their core management duties. Companies seeking to build internal rules (governance) for safe and effective AI utilization and enhance AI literacy across the entire organization.

Future Outlook In the AI era, the role of a project manager is shifting significantly from "someone who works and creates" to "someone who directs AI and evaluates/judges correctly." Through this service, DXHR Inc. aims to realize a society where many PMs can fully leverage AI as an "excellent assistant." By automating routine tasks, we will foster numerous "next-generation PMs" who can focus on advanced human communication and creative problem-solving, thereby contributing to the resolution of the talent shortage plaguing Japan's IT industry and strengthening its global competitiveness.
